Choice-Action Self-Counseling Sheet
THE CHOICE-ACTION SELF-COUNSELING SHEET.
(c) Steve Mensing
The Choice-Action Self-Counseling Sheet is method for making important decisions and choices and for taking action on those choices. Decisions, choices, and actions are the backbone of the good life, emotional well-being, and getting what is meaningful and valued accomplished in our lives. Making decisions and choices and acting upon those choices is the principle way human beings can steer their beliefs and emotions, become accountable for their lives, and actualize their deepest yearnings and values to create preferable experiences. Having roots in the work of Glasser, the Choice-Action Self-Counseling Sheet, asks several questions to get our "decision, choice, and action" abilities up and running.
***WARNING: Folks with a history of mental illness, trauma, or panic are urged not to use this process without a counselor or therapist. If you decide to do this process you will agree to absolve the webmasters, their server, Emoclear.com, and Steve Mensing of any responsibility for the application or misapplication of this process. There is always in any emotional process the possibility that someone could experience some discomfort. So proceed with this warning.***
THE CHOICE-ACTION SELF-COUNSELING SHEET.
The Choice-Action questions are:
(1) WHAT DO I PREFER TO HAPPEN IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW? Is this choice something I want more of? Something to be maintained? Or perhaps something to limit? Do I require making a decision first and reviewing relevant information? See Tips on Decisons on the Emoclear.com Process page. [Jot down your answers]

(2) WHAT CHOICE DO I MAKE RIGHT NOW? WHAT ACTION DO I TAKE? [Jot down your answers]
Review the following questions, if required, to make a better decision and choice:
*WHAT ARE MY CORE VALUES, PRIORITIES, AND INTERESTS? WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE MEANINGFUL FOR ME? Do I want to actualize one of these values, priorities, or interests right now by making a choice and getting the ball rolling with action or goal making? See "Tips on Values Clarification" and the "Meaning Exercise":

*WHAT ACTIVITIES IN MY LIFE DO I DERIVE PLEASURE, MEANING, REWARD, AND VALUE FROM? WHICH ACTIVITY WOULD I CHOOSE TO DO NOW OR SOON? WHAT ACTION(S) WILL I DO FIRST? WHAT ARE THE LIKELY CONSEQUENCES (PRO OR CON) IF I CARRY OUT THIS CHOICE? [Jot these down]
*WHAT WILL ASSIST ME IN DOING MY ACTIVITY SUCCESSFULLY? WHAT HINDERS ME? DO MY CHOICES IN ACTION ASSIST ME IN OBTAINING WHAT I PREFER? WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE? WHICH WOULD I CHOOSE? [Jot these down]
